	Welcome to www.madaboutbeethoven.com
		Maelzel is known today as the inventor of the metronome.
		Maelzel made a series of ear trumpets to help Beethoven with his deafness.
		When Beethoven was told Maelzel was trying to get possession of the orchestrated score, he began legal proceedings against him, but it came to nothing when Maelzel left Vienna.

		Maelzel thereupon went to Amsterdam, saw Winkel and inspected his invention, and, recognizing its great superiority to what he called his own, offered to buy all right and title to it.
		Winkel refused, and so Maelzel constructed a copy of the instrument, to which he added nothing but the scale of numbers, took this copy to Paris, obtained a patent for it, and in 1816 established there, in his own name, a manufactory for metronomes.
		Maelzel's scale was needlessly and arbitrarily complicated, proceeding by twos from 40 to 60, by threes from 60 to 72, by fours from 72 to 120, by sixes from 120 to 144 and by eights from 144 to 208.

		On the way Beethoven composed a battle-piece for the instrument which Maelzel appropriated as his own.

		Maelzel then journey to Munich and Vienna to rebuy the chessplayer and help along the metronome.

	Maelzel, Johann Nepomuk (1772-1838)
		Maelzel persuaded Beethoven to write a commemorative piece for Maelzel’s mechanical instrument the panharmonicon.

		Without doubt, the child was gifted, and his father Johann envisaged creating a new Mozart, a child prodigy.
		Even much later, when he received a copy of his baptism certificate, he thought that it belonged to his brother Ludwig Maria, who was born two years before him, and died as a child.

		These were carried out by Ditrich Nikolaus Winkel (1780-1826) and Johann Nepomuk Maelzel (1772-1838).
		As they worked independently there was some dispute as to which had arrived first at the various technical improvements.
		In the end the better business-man, Maelzel, made the metronome available to a larger public and, as a result, it is his name that figures in the famous tempo sign: MM=120.

		Au début de 1817, le même Maelzel envoie à 200 compositeurs un exemplaire de sa machine.
		«100 d'après Maelzel, mais cela ne peut être valable que pour les premières mesures, car le sentiment a aussi sa mesure, mais cela ne peut s'exprimer tout à fait selon ce degré (à savoir 100).» (note 3)
